あらすじ・解説
Two creepy horror tales of terror and the supernatural featuring otherworldly creatures, new and slightly condensed by Gary Adkins for Captivated Chat, LLC publishers, including:
"Oh, Whistle and I'll Come to You, My Lad": An ancient ghost haunts a Cambridge professor during his investigation of Templar ruins. In visiting the seaside locale where a disgraced sect once worshipped he uncovers a device with Latin inscriptions that he can't quite decipher. It turns out to be a whistle engraved with a cabalistic inscription that translates as "oh, whistle, and I'll come to you, my lad". Next thing you know someone or something is following the professor home. What could possibly be wrong with that?
"Casting the Runes": Mr. Dunning is cursed after sending in a negative review of occultist Karswell's paper on witchcraft. Poor Dunning learns the last negative reviewer has just died in a freak accident, and soon anyone looking into Dunning's death may face the same fate. Odd, though, that Dunning's body was so badly mauled as if my an animal. Karswell, it seems, may have cursed several men by slipping them an elusive slip of parchment adorned with some ancient runic symbols. Some say that the curse may have called up a demon from hell. How easily the parchment slides from one's grasp, and how alarming are the consequences!
These two stories are often cited by experts as being James' best, and now are available in a single audiobook volume, making this a rare find. You may wish to avoid the regret that will surely haunt you should you pass up the chance to make your All Hallows Eve celebration more entertaining. You won't much like letting these runes slip through your fingers.
